Vice President, Recruiting

I help jobseekers rediscover their value...and land roles they actually want.

For 20+ years, I’ve been on the other side of the hiring table: recruiting, interviewing, and working directly with hiring managers. I know what gets noticed, what gets ignored, and how decisions are really made. That’s what makes me different: I don’t guess what recruiters want; I *am* a recruiter, and I’ve gotten people hired in every kind of market...including this one.

Whether you’re struggling to get interviews, making a pivot, or trying to bounce back after a layoff, I’ll give you straightforward strategy and tools that actually work: resumes that highlight your impact, LinkedIn profiles that get found, and job search strategies that cut through the noise.

I’ve built my reputation as a nationally recognized voice on hiring and workplace trends by doing things differently. My process is simple: real support, real communication, and a strategy that respects your time and your goals.

If you’re ready to stop spinning your wheels and start showing up as the best version of yourself, on paper, online, and in interviews, I can help.

I am an extremely detailed, thorough, diligent, highly organized CPA seeking to partner with innovative, creative, untraditional, forward-thinking CPAs, EAs, and CFOs anywhere in the US. If you are local to Houston, I would be open to commuting to your office (if you have one) periodically, if necessary.

SERVICES: I provide bookkeeping and various accounting services to clients all year round (monthly, quarterly, annual bookkeeping; audit support; payroll tax returns, sales tax returns, property tax returns; 1099's; all things accounting), as well as prepare individual and business tax returns. This allows me to be a well-rounded accountant and a trusted business advisor for clients.

SOFTWARE: I am a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. I've worked at firms that used both CCH Axcess and ProSystem fx: Engagement, Document, Practice, Time, and AnswerConnect. I've also used Thomson Reuters: Accounting CS, UltraTax CS, FileCabinet, Practice CS, Checkpoint.

CULTURE: I work remotely and have very flexible hours. I also work very untraditional days and hours. This is why I chose the entrepreneurial lifestyle – it promotes a healthy work/life balance. My mental health is of utmost importance and it must be prioritized if we are to have healthy collaborative communication. 

If you want to work with me:

1) Management must understand that I am a human being before an employee. Management must be empathetic to various life circumstances and understand that I have responsibilities outside of work – wOrK dOeS nOt cOmE beFoRe mE. 🫠

2) Management must be capable of giving and receiving feedback in a timely manner, having hard conversations that result in solutions not silence, and leaving room in budgets and schedules for research, questions, and unforeseen circumstances.

3) Management must have realistic expectations when it comes to workloads, budgets, and project progression.

The smartest person in the room doesn't have all the answers, they ask the most questions. So let's have a conversation to see if we can possibly work together.
